<p>I am glad to hear it! You also sound happier and more mature than you did a week and a half ago. We are glad to have you on the board.</p>
<p>Lboogie, since you are young for your class, would it be possible to just take another year in high school? I don’t know how it would effect your college applications, but maybe other people have some thoughts on that.</p>
<p>Ohio-mom: I am glad to be on the board</p>
<p>Nan:i don’t think my parents would approve about the whole staying in high school for another year. Let’s just see where this goes first.</p>
<p>I might just take some time off before i enter the whole college atmosphere.</p>
<p>Lboogie, I know a young woman who took a year off, and it was the best thing she could have done. She started college a year later with a fresh spirit. She’s a junior now, and is doing fabulously. Her sister is doing the same thing now, and it looks like a good move for her too. Both of them applied to college during their senior years, and then asked for deferments. Both schools agreed to hold their places for one year. Doing that sort of ensures that you won’t be tempted to keep putting off your application, and it frees you up from application worries during the break.</p>
<p>Nan: If you don’t mind me asking, but what is a deferment?</p>
<p>If you apply along with everyone else your senior year, get accepted to the college you will attend, then tell them you need to take a year before you can attend, and they tell you fine, they’ll hold your place for the next year - that’s a deferment.</p>
<p>I don’t know if all schools allow this, or how hard it might be at some, but it was just a bit of paper work for the two young women I mentioned. You’d want to find out before hand, although I probably wouldn’t mention it to the school in direct connection with the applications, as I don’t know if it would color an admission decision.</p>
<p>Thank you Nan</p>
